Hmm...not necessarily...in my experience most of those with some distant Jewish ancestry did not feel any attachment to it.

Of course, one can assume that they are sometimes just pretending not to care, but if you have a person who would be never accepted as Jew by the Jewish community itself, inspite of some drop of Jewish blood that he maybe has, I don't see any reason why he could have any special relationship with Jewry. Or even if he has, it is in that case only a one-sided relationship: he might be fond of Jewry, but the Jewry not fond of him.
